That's kind of the harsh reality of SL atm isn't it. You want good players but if they're too good they're an immediate flight risk. Players with an obvious hole in their game are more likely to commit longer term and as long as we think that they bring enough to our side in other areas then great. Liam Marshall is probably another one - a very good SL winger but would never have the physical presence to make it in the NRL.

Can’t feel anything but pleased for Smith today. He looked relaxed as could be popping them over. Maybe he’s been trolling us all!

Maybe the break has given him chance to correct a few things and refocus. As you say, NK, he seemed a lot more confident and relaxed today

I've heard, not sure how true it is tho, that Briers did a day with the lads in the week. Maybe he got the boots out with Smith?

It seemed it. He stroked every single kick, where he’s been snatching at stuff before. If that was down to Briers having some time with them, then he’s a genius!

He's been working with Paul Grayson hasn't he?
